(CNN) โ€” Looks like Buddy the Elf is trading in maple syrup for an ice cold beer.

Will Ferrell attended the Kings-Flyers game at Los Angelesโ€™ Crypto.com Arena Sunday dressed up as his iconic character from the beloved 2003 holiday movie โ€œElf,โ€ and Buddy was looking a little worse for the wear this time.

Seen sitting with his wife Viveca Paulin and his son Axel, Ferrellโ€™s Buddy was sporting a five oโ€™clock shadow and frowning, while drinking a beer and โ€œsmokingโ€ a faux cigarette.

Buddyโ€™s โ€œdisgruntledโ€ look is because he had a โ€œtough holiday season,โ€ according to FanDuel Sports Network reporter Carrlyn Bathe, who spoke to Buddy at the game.

โ€œHeโ€™s looking for a Kings win,โ€ she added.

Buddyโ€™s downtrodden vibe was drastically different from the Buddy that audiences know and love, whose lovable and childlike nature helps spread holiday cheer year after year.

โ€œElfโ€ was directed by Jon Favreau and starred Ferrell, Zooey Deschanel, the late James Cann, Mary Steenbergen, Ed Asner, Peter Dinklage and Bob Newhart, among others.

The film became an instant holiday classic when it was released in 2003. It follows Buddy, who was raised among Santaโ€™s elves in the North Pole, as he searches for his father in New York City.

Hereโ€™s hoping the next time we see Buddy, heโ€™s back to indulging in the sweeter things life brings.
